Hindenburg Disaster Newspaper Article

Radio announcer Herb Morrison
(1905 – 1989).

Chicago, Illinois

Morrison who came to Lakehurst to record a routine radio
report for an NBC newsreel, immortalized the Hindenburg
disaster in a famous on-the-scene description in which he
emotionally declared, “Oh, the humanity!”

The recording of Morrison’s commentary was immediately
flown to New York, where it was aired as part of one of the
first coast-to-coast radio news broadcasts in the United
States.

Lighter-than-air passenger travel rapidly fell out of favor
after the Hindenburg disaster, and no rigid airships
survived World War II.
